Abstract

En 中文
To date, the best circle graph recognition algorithm, due to Gioan et al. [19] runs in almost linear time as it relies on a split decomposition algorithm [20] that uses the union-find data-structure [16, 34]. We show that in the case of circle graphs, the PC-tree data-structure [31] allows one to avoid the union-find data-structure to compute the split decomposition in linear time. As a consequence, we obtain the first linear-time recognition algorithm for circle graphs.
